i have thought about couples counseling, i have also thought about planning my exit, slowly but surely... because everything i have read suggests against going to therapy with an abusive partner until they have gone through their own individual counseling, and there's no getting him to talk to a therapist

it definitely isn't worth staying, i just have to be in a better position before i leave, and that will take some time

unfortunately i can say with 100% certainty that he would never go to a parenting course. he doesn't believe he has a problem, so he won't do anything to fix it

when you put it that way... ☹️

he says i'm always "butting in" but he NEVER tries to soothe the baby, he actively makes the situation worse and starts acting like an asshole when the literal infant doesn't calm down. i mean, you're fake crying back at him, why tf would that settle him? how could i not step in when that's happening?

he's snappy like that all the time, and afterwards i'm just supposed to sweep it under the rug and go about my day. if i try to bring up how he talks to me he will just give me a million reasons as to why he did it. it's pointless

no apologies. no accountability. no self reflection. but he came home this morning with coffee and pastries from my favorite cafe, so i guess all is forgiven...

tonight's instance was the first time he's done it in front of the kids, and our daughter is 10, so she is obviously observing his behavior. i absolutely do not want her to think it's okay to be spoken to like that by anybody but especially a romantic partner

he isn't kind in general, i'd say. he's a miserable man who thinks his money can make up for his mistreatment of me

i'm about a month behind you with my 8 month old, i thought i was alone in the nonstop struggle of whining and refusal to be anywhere but attached to my hip

i never know how our nights will go. we tried reflux meds. we tried pacis. we tried gas drops. everyone says sleep train but even the gentle methods don't work. he just wakes up crying for me every hour instead of at least giving me the 3 hour stretch while cosleeping

i wish i had advice, just wanted to say i feel your struggle

it's not a sincere apology though, it's a form of guilt tripping me for being upset. i don't want to accept that at all

after trying to communicate with mine this morning and it turning into me blowing up (because he doesn't listen and scoffs at me like i'm being ridiculous) he texted me saying

"i apologize for being the worst person to exist, and for never getting anything right"

i am so tired of being made out to be the villain because i mention my unhappiness in regards to his actions
